I think that all this UFO and Bigfoot stuff is new age religion for the Space Age. There's a need for the human brain to believe in the impossible or improbable, and it's trying to shift the personification of a deity from a burning bush to a flying saucer. In ten thousand years the ET's will have evolved to blend in with whatever technological level we're at, and concrete proof will still be only days away.
I don't see how something so profound could be kept under wraps for so long. despite the best efforts of lawyers and religious leaders to keep the status quo, if aliens wanted to reveal themselves and shatter every cherished worldview, they could. Part - change that - likely all of this mythology is the anthropomorphism, the placing of humanity on something utterly alien and mysterious. How could anyone say the aliens are in hiding because of some "prime directive"? Why do aliens have eyes above nostrils above the mouth? A head and neck? Why bipedal?
“To Serve Man” was one of the best ones. I consider it a parable of the utter foolishness of "peaceniks" and turn-the-other-cheek types. We'll never have peace in this life. We are also hierarchal and territorial animals, it's in our DNA, a "peace mutation" would likely be fatal, and besides, why hasn't peace been discovered long before now? Just because our ancestors didn't know how to go to the moon doesn't mean they were stupid.
Yeah.
That blind addiction to TYPE II ERROR stuff is
REAL
seductive.
I think that all this UFO and Bigfoot stuff is new age religion for the Space Age................. Thats the point being made, none of it is new. Bigfoot tales have been around hundreds of years if not thousands and UFO’s have been around since biblical times, in writings and art.-+
Excellent points...
Here is what I am talking about regarding evidence...
I happened to be watching TBN on TV....Benny Hinn was on....he claimed that on some flight he was on, coming from an overseas crusade, there were horrid things afoot on the plane...he tried to claim, that aside from himself, and his crew, just about everyone else on that plan was some sort of a demonic spirit, that had taken up residence in human form, and these spirits were traveling, via plane, to get to the United States....Benny was not sure, if they were from the pits of hell, or some strange ET’s...but he assured us, he was right, those folks aboard that plane, were demonic spirits..he just knew it...
Now, some folks would take that silly anecdotal tale, and try to spin it, as evidence for their kooky theories...I am sure some folks believed him...because he had evidence, but that evidence was nothing but his strange tale...ah, but then here are folks, who believe that Benny Hinn can wave his magical arms about while onstage, and knock out the first 20 rows of an audience, thereby showing his extra special super duper powers, of slaying folks in the spirit....this presents the viewer with two possibilities....does Benny Hinn have such extra special super duper powers, or more likely did a large number of Benny Hinn supporters stuff those first 20 rows, and at a pre-arranged given time, while Benny was waving his arms, around, pretend to limp and become unconscious? Well, some folks would go with the first option, and use this stunt as evidence of Benny’s powers...I and others, would go with the second option, that Benny has no powers, just a good stage act...
Evidence of Benny’s demons aboard the plane, and evidence of Benny’s powers, all hinge on what the observer already believes about such things and what they think of Benny...there was no evidence at all, of these demons, just Benny’s anecdotal tale, pawned off as evidence...
If people want to believe in these airplane traveling demons, and special arm waving powers, then so be it...In these instances I chose not to believe...
Yeah, To Serve Man, had many layers to it...my boys, as children especially loved that episode....we adults admire that episode as well, because of the further meanings...
